The Sansetsukon is a three-sectioned staff linked together by chain or rope. A more advanced weapon, it is often compared to the nunchaku, but its length by the now existing third middle staff makes it more situational to flail it around one's body. Rather than solely a striking weapon, its length allows it longer reach, its form allows greater numbers of positions and stances to utilize in many different ways, and its joints allow it to seize and capture.
